ABOUT MILA STERN

Mila Stern, DJ and producer for over a decade, has followed an exciting career path, taking her from the squats of Halle, where she cut her teeth, to Tel Aviv, and finally to Berlin, the global epicenter of electronic music. Gifted with an innate serenity and undeniable selective talent, she quickly acquired a well-deserved reputation. She lit up renowned festivals such as Fusion, Nation of Gondwana and Garbicz, while residing at Berlin’s prestigious Kater Blau and Halle’s Station Endlos. She subsequently transcended the boundaries of the Berlin underground to make her mark on the international circuit, from Mexico to Kazakhstan.

Mila’s musical aesthetic is bursting with groove, drawing on marginal soundscapes inspired by post-punk and electro. What sets her apart is her boldness to embrace unconventional sonorities, explore the beauty inherent in harshness and dissonance, integrate moments of rupture within powerful structures, and of course, her signature tempo: 123.4 bpm. Since 2019, Mila has brought her vision to life through original releases and remixes. Her “Five Finger” EP, unveiled in 2023 on Kiosk ID, embodies the energy she unleashes on stage, composing a six-track opus that delivers grandiose hooks, lending unprecedented strength to her music, making it the perfect choice to ignite the dancefloor.

Mila’s music conveys a pure vision of rave culture, far removed from nebulous superstructures. Her long closing sets are legendary, deep expressions of love, hymns to the non-judgmental freedom advocated by the rave scene. From the outset, she has tapped into the counter-culture, transcending established norms and braving the antagonism faced by female DJs in the late 2000s, a struggle that continues to this day. As a DJ, producer, event organizer and former radio host, Mila pushes boundaries, challenges the status quo and pursues her artistic vision with unwavering determination.

Few artists navigate the margins so effortlessly, making the avant-garde accessible and persevering in their quest with unrivalled conviction. Mila Stern transports eclectic sounds to the world’s stages, while challenging the paradigms of electronic music and creating a genre all her own.
